SOO Ceylon Golden Tips Tea 50g — one of the world's rarest teas

Golden Tips: One of the World's Rarest Teas

Among the thousands of teas in the world, only a handful are truly rare. Golden Tips is one of them — a hand-harvested treasure from Sri Lanka's finest estates.

What are Golden Tips?

Golden Tips are the prized golden buds of the tea plant, carefully hand-picked and minimally processed to preserve their colour and character. The result is a smooth, luxurious cup with notes of honey, malt and caramel and almost no astringency.

Why so rare?

Only a tiny fraction of each harvest yields true golden buds, and they must be picked and handled by hand. That scarcity — and the labour involved — is what makes Golden Tips one of the most exclusive teas you can buy.

How to enjoy them

Brew gently (water just off the boil, around 85–90°C) and drink plain to savour the natural sweetness. No milk, no sugar — just a remarkable cup.

A gift like no other

Golden Tips makes an extraordinary present for a tea lover. SOO Ceylon Golden Tips is Lion Logo certified and shipped worldwide — or pair it with our Silver Tips white tea for the ultimate luxury duo.
